The programme for children aged 12+ approaches the theme of solidarity from different perspectives – societal, social, familial. With minimalist aesthetic, Circle uses the simple metaphor of a circle to ask the big question of why we (should?) conform to social norms without reflecting on them, and what role group dynamics and individual freedom play in this. Grip follows a Ukrainian refugee who, through the support of her peers at a Belgian adventure camp, succeeds in pushing her personal boundaries. A New Garden portrays a protagonist torn between family responsibilities and the desire for attention and connections beyond the family.
